EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Alexandria, Egypt. The image showcases the magnificent exterior view of the city's ancient wall, adorned with Cleopatra's Needle - a remarkable obelisk standing tall amidst the ramparts. The photograph is part of a collection titled "Views in Egypt, Palestine and other parts of the Ottoman Empire" created by an unknown artist during the 19th century. It is currently housed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Leonard de Selva, we are transported to an era where grandeur and architectural marvels reigned supreme. The intricate details on both the wall and obelisk leave us in awe of human craftsmanship from centuries past. The presence of Cleopatra's Needle adds an air of mystique and intrigue to this already enchanting scene. This iconic symbol connects us directly to one of history's most legendary figures - Queen Cleopatra herself. Through this photograph, we can almost feel ourselves walking along those ancient ramparts, imagining what life must have been like during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even though civilizations rise and fall, their remnants continue to inspire wonder and admiration for generations to come. Leonard de Selva has beautifully preserved this moment in history through his lens, allowing us all to appreciate the magnificence of Alexandria's ancient walls and Cleopatra's enduring legacy.
